I rewrote the Makefile for MIDAS in order to make it tidy. I tested it on my box
and it works here.
1. The full file is seperated to several parts
  a. initialized setup
  b. environment setup
  c. specify OS-specific flags
  d. processing environment for building flags
  e. targets
2. The file is less than 400 lines now. The original one is more than 500 lines.
3. The modified one is easy for debuging.

I tried to learn "autoconf" and "automake" in order to make building MIDAS more
compatible for various platforms. But I havn't enough time now. Hope somebody
can help it. The attached file is original named "Makefile.in" for using "autoconf".

:-)

I admit that the new one is fit to my flavor. For a common user, I think, a simple procedure of configure/make/install
is better than changing the Makefile manually because many users are lack of knowledges about Makefile. That's why 
I want to learn autotools. The configure script is generated automatically by "autoconf", so you needn't to debug it. 
For the developer, you need to debug the configure.ac/in files for generating the configure script. For a common user, 
he/she only needs to run it. In fact, some more complex projects like ROOT use AUTOTOOLS and they don't include 
the original files which are needed for generating the "configure" script.  I prefer the MIDAS project includes such a 
script to make the compiling simpler and easier instead of changing the Makefile manually.

I derived the new Makefile from the original one so that feathers and bugs are 
also included. 
I havn't experiences on platforms other than Linux and MacOS, so I cannot 
recognize bugs on 
other platforms if they exists in the original one. And if there are bugs, 
hope users can figure
them out.

Fixed.

The building dependence on ROOT of mhdump may be eliminated by changing the

Fixed now.

Fixed.

Replaced with GNU make internal methods.

I realized it now. But anyway, it looks tidy to me now. I still hope to use 
AUTOTOOLS with MIDAS.

The new one is about 430 lines. Hmmm, it reaches the original one which is 
more than 600 lines.

====================================================
Maybe BUGS or FEATURES in this new one:
1. The shared libmidas.so and the static libmidas.a are built sperately. 
The "libmidas.a" is 
always built whether "NEED_SHLIB" is set or not. And all executables are built 
staticly default. 
I commented this in the Makefile-by-EL. Hence, if you want to use libmidas.so 
with PyMIDAS and
do not want to encounter "Segmentation fault" while executing the utilies 
linked dynamicly, you
may try this one.
2. I found that "minife" is failed to be built, so I remove it from the 
example list.
3. Some bugs while building on MacOS Tiger 10.4.11 PPC are commented out in 
the Makefile. These
bugs are still exists in the original one.
4. Using "VPATH" instead of adding pathnames.
5. Using "UTILS_SUID" to handle utilities which need SUID mode. And 
the "UTILS_SUID_NEED" may be
defined in the OS-specific field, so you need not to use OS-specific commands 
in the "install"
target.
6. Using "tr" with "uname" in order to delete some extra "ifeq 
($(OSTYPE),...)".
7. Other things, please see the file.

Anyway, easier building is my purpose. :-)

Strange. I tested it on Debian Linux 4.0r2 AMD64 with gcc 4.1.2, MIDAS SVN 4124. It worked fine.
Anyway, it can be fixed by addling "-lm" to the initial"LDFLAGS".

OK. I will comment it in detail.

int mvme_open(MVME_INTERFACE **vme, int idx)

I used the old V2.04 driver for SIS1100/SIS3100. The old package contains a script which creates devices
as /tmp/sis1100_XXXX. So I created another script and installed it into /etc/init.d/. That script can be
invoked by using standard rc.d tools. In order to make the /dev directory tidy, it creates device files
into just one directory as /dev/sis1100/. That's the story.

Now, I found, the new sis1100.ko of version 2.12 can create devices automatically as /dev/sis1100_xxxx.
So, my script can be retired now. And also, I needn't to hack the "sis3100.c" anymore.

I encountered too that the jorway73a.c cannot work for my SCM-301 CAMAC driver. The
"jorway73a.c" distributed with MIDAS seems to work with Jorway 73a reversion > 300. But my
module has the reversion number 203. :-( I hope you can paste the modified version here so
that I can try it if I have spare time.

** PyMVME module

   The module "PyMVME" provides the following stuff:
      a. class StdVME
      	 -- contains standard VME informations.
      b. class MVME_INTERFACE
      	 -- the C structure MVME_INTERFACE wrapped in Python
      c. dict MVME_STATUS
      	 -- the return information defined in "mvmestd.h"
      d. the related useful aliases from "mvmestd.h"
      	 -- including "mvme_addr_t", "mvme_locaddr_t", "mvme_size_t"
      e. class MvmeDev
      	 -- the major class which provides methods to access VME bus.

   You may find examples of how to use module "PyMVME" from "find_caen.py" or
   scripts in dir "test". All of the examples are using "lib_sis3100mvme.so".
   You may find information later in this introduction.

** find_caen.py

   The script to find VME modules from CAEN. Now, it is still in test status
   and can only find ADCs, TDCs or QDCs.

* SIS3100 library to be used togather with "mvmestd.h"

  The directory "sis3100" contains sources to build libraries as the following:
  a. lib_sis3100.a     -- APIs declared in "sis3100_vme_calls.h"
  b. lib_sis3100mvme.a -- APIs declared in "mvmestd.h". It also contains the
     		       	  same APIs from lib_sis3100.a

  If you want to use shared libraries, especially when you are using utilities
  wrote in Python, you may rebuild the libraries as the following:

    $ cd sis3100
    $ make shared

* APIs to handle VME modules

** vadc_caen.h/c

   Provides APIs to handle ADC-type modules from CAEN, including:
      a. ADCs --- V785, V785N
      b. TDCs --- V775, V775N
      c. QDCs --- V792, V792N

* VME bus testers

  Still under development.
